Jonathan Goodwin, Ashley Stewart, Matthew Richardson, Steffen Bollmann
Calvary Mater Newcastle Hospital, Newcastle, Australia
Impact: Accurate identification of gold fiducial markers is essential for MRI-only prostate radiotherapy planning. Integrating deep-learning enabled fiducial detection into MRI reconstruction using OpenRecon provides a practical imaging pipeline that facilitates clinical implementation of MRI-only prostate treatment planning for radiotherapy

Manuel Morales, Alexander Schulz, Nicole C.Y. Deng, Tess Wallace, Warren Manning, Reza Nezafat
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, Boston, United States of America
Impact: We evaluated feasibility of AI-enhanced phase-contrast CMR for quantifying coronary sinus flow during post-exercise, demonstrating excellent repeatability and good correlation with quantitative myocardial perfusion. Our technique potentially enables accurate, contrast-free, pharmacology-free assessment of myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve.
